I saw a few light flakes, but the roads are still in good shape this morning.

Can you add this to the statuettes as an option there along par with the Immortal Weapon Chests?

Weapons only get added to the statuettes after we stop putting them in the appearance packs, that's why the immortal ones are in there now, since we no longer put those in appearance packs!

The mistake was not making them purchasable with BLC tickets?

We don't put collections for the Gemstore weapon sets that are exclusive to appearance packages. The mistake was that the collection was added at all and we will be removing it ~

I really agree, and I can totally see how hard it would be to find new inspiration for weapons in video games. I think it's especially difficult for artists because weapons aren't just a cool skin anymore, but they are basically a whole audio visual experience. I want to say how exceptional the new legendary great sword is in how it addresses this, but it's quickly becoming the norm, give it 10 years and that'll be the starter weapon for x new mmo. Saying that, your work is really exceptional. I just hope to God that it's not released as a gemstore thing. That'd really kill the excitement for a new weapon release.

Thank you so much! <3

the part i like the most, sadly, it always disappear while dismounting, or for some reason is almost always gone while doing wvw.

but kudos, this is one of my favourite legendary weapons in game :D

First of all you've made amazing job with those weapons.

Secondly, Mystic longbow/(shortbow)? and Pharus are both looking great, I am aware of Pharus's special particle effects, but we are looking at a still image here, which if you don't go to imgur is very small, that makes it even harder to diferenciate between those two, and casual player won't notice the diference whether on picture or other player's back while stowed.

I've speand around 5k hours in game and if someone haven't told me this wasn't Pharus I wouldn't be abile to figure it out myself (I have never been much into bows tho...), probably because of that glow, it was the most unique part of Pharus in my opinion (might be wrong).

Now, that's no longer the case, it's both sad to see Legendary loose part of it's appeal, but on the other hand more people will be abile to have awesome weapons.

Nice Style tho... :)

Thanks! And I completely understand. At a glance they can look similar if you don't have the other next to it and don't know what the other looks like. It's easy to focus on their strongest defining features: the color family and the fact that they glow. This means they become more similar in your mind than they actually are since you're only comparing those specific features. I agree, it's problematic, but I'm not sure there's a solution.

it was the most unique part of Pharus in my opinion (might be wrong).

When Pharus came out people argued that Pharus itself was a "copy" of the chaos bow. And herein lies the problem: with how many weapons we have now and the limited number of ways you can create cool weapons, there are inevitably going to be ones which you can pair up and say "these look really close". Anything that has a glow on it is a chaos weapon. Anything that has gold on it is like that other gold one. It's an ever increa...

WTF!?!? Why is Pharus one of the skins?

What you're seeing is my art style (and that they both glow). I made both Pharus and the Mythic weapons. I was fully aware that this set's glow would mean encroaching on Pharus' territory so I did what I could to differentiate them and they really aren't the same. The shapes aren't even remotely similar. The only similarities are the glow and my art style. Pharus has so much more going for it that the mythic bows do not have: special projectiles, enemy hit effect, character draw effect, animated parts, glowing bow string with diamond grip, cascading effect on draw, unique metal material, etc. The mythic weapons simply glow and have my style. That's it.

Yep.

They made another amazing mechanic, yet it doesnt do anything. It doesnt punish you at all, and people dont even care about clearing stacks anymore because there is no way you are going to get killed since you are able to self-break it.

We experimented with harsher conditions but the fact became that it was just too annoying while trying to do a collection or event or story bit. There is absolutely room for a stronger version to exist in the future. With that said, if you are flying on a Dragonscale or griffon and get turned to ice, you fall hard haha. So that is something that is a bit more punishing.

aw shucks! It sounds like we've identified the fix and we are actively working on getting this back online. Thanks again for bringing this to our attention!

IF the system somehow got abused by PvE players (I still don't see the issue) we could just get a debuff on after moving to the instance that prevents us from getting rewards, easy.

2/3 of the tech is already here (mentor, volunteer) so I think it is doable.

EDIT: Well, I still think it is doable. But maybe /u/Anet-Clayton or /u/Anet_Myranda could tell more (even if it's "no") or at least pass the suggestion(s) forward?

Everything is doable :) But the amount of resources and time would be an unknown. I think it's a cool idea but it sounds like a lift tbh. I don't believe maps are currently set up to have togglable conditions set. I.E. this map is only allowed to populate people with this flag set.

This would also require a UI design and QA so it wouldn't just be engineer and server work. I'll gladly pass the idea along! I think, however, it would be some work to figure out. That work would have to be prioritized and weighed against other high demand things.
